A group of investigators will be sent to opioid-stricken states in the United States to review the emergent condition of the use of narcotics in these states.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ remarks come a day after the presidential commission called for announcement of “national emergency” in opioid epidemic by President Donald Trump for the case to be investigated and measures to be taken about it.

Sessions noted about the messages sent by government officials which added twists to the issue. “So let me say: We cannot capitulate intellectually or morally unto this kind of rampant drug abuse. We must create a culture that’s hostile to drug abuse,” he also added.

A three-year investigation was missioned by Justice Department to root out the saga. It is widely believed that the role of doctors and health care providers, including drug companies, is significantly fundamental and should be expertly studied.

The condition in some states like Ohio was so intense that the rate of overdose deaths skyrocketed more than 60 percent last year. The prosecutors are deployed to the states because while “treatment is important, treatment is not enough.”

Alabama, California, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia are the states that the plan will be implemented in. more than 52,000 American died of overdose only in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Columbus Dispatch reported that more than 4,000 of the death was recorded in Ohio alone with 8 victims a day in 2016.

While Heroin is still considered the principal cause of deaths, the use of fentanyl has propagated so much so that the drug companies are considered the first cause of the crisis. This clarifies that current emergent condition has been resulted from structured felony that must be rooted in the power bases in the country.
